Hello, I am Daed (Dee) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Arizona. I obtained my undergrad degree in psychology from the University of Arizona and my masters degree in Social Work from Arizona State University. I am a bilingual therapist with over a decade long experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My strength-based approach helps build strong therapeutic relationships and long-lasting changes. I believe in people's ability to heal and grow and am passionate about helping others overcome life's obstacles.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I often use client centered skills during treatment and have a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. During our initial encounter we will explore your needs and decide what would be the most appropriate therapy modality for you. I like to utilize the time on our firsts session to build rapport, gather background information, discuss needs and perhaps identify treatment goals. I like to leave some time for any questions you might have and discuss scheduling.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my strengths as a provider is my ability to connect with my clients and build a strong therapeutic relationship.
